The young man Sergio that Marco went to visit on Sunday afternoon in the hospital died yesterday and today we went to the funeral and gathering at his families house. Any funeral is sad. His family doesn't know the Lord Jesus Christ, but they did ask Marco come preside at the funeral. The joy in our hearts is that Sergio did repent and believe the gospel in the hospital a few days before dying. Lord willing the family will come to church.
When we got back from the funeral, the teens were working like little ants all over the park cutting and raking grass. Our late Mayor of Cancun, "Greg" is now in jail. In spite of everything that landed him in jail, I can say that while he was in office we did have tidier parks. It appears as though we need to start cutting the grass again like we used to do.
My mother-in-law was outside in the shade of a tree enjoying all the activity. Today is her last full day here in Cancun. Lord willing, tomorrow Marco will take her to Ensenada to be with her other children for a time.
Things are always changing, but the blessed hope and assurance is in the Rock of Ages Who is the same yesterday, today and forever.
